ITT, Chef and I review poor political decisions.

[Horab Fibslager]

china is mro like communist russia anyway, in that they utilize subterfuge to gain teh upper hand in their affairs.

[East Coast Hustle]

this is true, but the reality is that China could probably accomplish the total subjugation of hte taiwanese populace without destroying more than 5 or 10 percent of the industrial output capabilities of the entire island (remember, there's also a large manufacturing center in the south of the island), and even that could be restored relatively quickly once order was restored...

Roger:  You fail to take their aegis cruisers into account.  China's missiles are slow, and have no evasive capability.  China = wasted a lot of ordinance, Taiwan = pointing and laughing.

you're placing the defense of Taiwan in the hands of an AMERICAN anti-missile system?  

and remember, China HAS a shitload of ordinance to waste...unfortunately, it'll probably never happen, 'cause it'd make for DAMN good dinner theater...



BS,
Is a war nerd at heart

Roger:  Yes.  One thing Americans do VERY well is make weapons.

[East Coast Hustle]

true, with one notable exception: one thing americans don't do very well is shoot missiles out of the sky with smaller missiles.

Roger:  You make Gary Brecher cry, when you make huge mistakes like that.  Aegis cruiser != patriot missiles.

[East Coast Hustle]

I'd be willing to bet that Gary Brecher would agree with me on this one...perhaps we oughtta fire off an email to him?

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

To Chef: WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

To Chef: WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?

Roger:  That will take a full blown rant to explain, I think.  I'll translate it our of Chef, for the sake of everyone's eyes, and my caps lock.

Sometime this weekend.

[Chaplin_Sinatra_Fonzarell]

To Chef: WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?

Because it's a faggy country.

[East Coast Hustle]

I actually think this thread is worth reviving.

[Cain]

Chef, why do British people think we are being infiltrated by Islamic extremists who are here in large numbers when the Government that launched 2 wars against Islamic countries are still in charge?

[Buddha's Ghost Penis]

WE ARE TO DECLARE THIS CLASSIC HELLO!

DO NEVER TEST THE UNTESTABLE BUDDHA WRATH!

OUR JUDGEMENT HAS FINAL!

[Enrico Salazar]

Dearest Roger and Chef,

Please to be explaining where it all went wrong with Salaore?  What could be better than a tropical island ran by a gorgeous dictator who lets you do pretty much anything you want?

[Cain]

Chef, how could the government have handled the loss of 25 million peoples information from one of their databases better?

[Doktor Howl]

Dearest Roger and Chef,

Please to be explaining where it all went wrong with Salaore?  What could be better than a tropical island ran by a gorgeous dictator who lets you do pretty much anything you want?

Dear Papa,

It all went wrong when Diabo steal the Z out of Salazore.  Crops not coming in, rent boys not going out.  Goats in short supply, being hogged up by Uday.  Tia Tequila cancel state visit.
